A gross earnings expansion from $25,000,000 in 1898-9 to $53,000,000 in 1905-6, or a net growth of $28,000,000 or 110 per cent in seven years, is a wonderful tribute alike to the growth of the Great Northern railroad as a carrier and to the industrial and com mercial development of the country tributary. This seven-year growth of over one hundred per cent in earnings is all the tains of India and is more remarkable in view of the fact that the average freight rate on the Great Northern has been reduced from .916 cents per ton per mile in 1898-9 to .791 cents in 1905-6, a reduc tion of .125 cents per ton per mile, or about 14 per cent in the seven years. As a matter of fact, the ton mileage has grown from a little over two bil lion tons carried one mile in 1898-9 to nearly five billions in 1905-6a growth of 150 per cent. In other words, the road has done for shippers during the past year 150 per cent more service for 110 per cent more pay, which yields the shipping public on the total ton nage handled a big volume of trans portation costs saved. There is a specially marked growth in Great Northern earnings during the past two years. The difference between $53,000,000 of gross earnings in 1906 and a trifle over $41,000,000 in 1904 is nearly $12,000,000, which shows a two-year increase of nearly 30 per cent. The net earnings from opera tion expand from 18,500,000 in 1904 to $24,400,000 in 1906, nearly $6,000,- 000 or over 30 per cent. The freight trains during the past year just re ported handled 36 per cent more tons of revenue freight than two years ago, and performed one-half greater ton mileage service, at a reduction of ten per cent in the average charge per ton per mile. One of the interesting comparisons to be made with the Great Northern statistics is that pertaining to the earnings per mile of road operated. During the past year the gross earn ings were over $8,000 and the net over $4,000 per mile of track. Ten years ago, per contra, the gross earnings per mile of road were a little over $4,000 and the net a trifle over $2,000 per mile. In the mind, or at least in the stump-speech of the average poli tician seeking votes, this increase of earnings per mile of road implies in crease in the rate charged, or undue increase of profit from operation. In plain and simple truth, however, it implies simply increase of traffic vol ume and industrial development of the country tributary. In fact, the average rate has dropped from .96 cents per ton per mile ten years ago to .79 cents this year, a reduction of about 20 per cent in the average rate charged. The road carried seven mil lion tons of revenue freight ten years ago, as compared with nearly twenty million tons this year, and, although the rate has been reduced to the ship per, the earnings per mile of road operated have been doubled by the nearly trebled volume of handled. In 1896-7 there were 1,657,220,000 tons of revenue freight handled one mile and in 1905-6 there were 4,933,- 530,000 tons handled one mile. The ten-year increase in ton mileage is 3,276,310,000, or 200 per cent. This comparison at once explains and demonstrates, first, the doubled mile age earnings of the system second, the wonderful expansion of Great Northern traffic and transportation service, and third, the phenomenal development of the country tributary, stretching "from the twin cities and Lake Superior to Puget Sound on the Pacific, both in the production and shipment of the staples of life and the prosperity attending such production and shipment.Commercial West.

Wonderful Snake. Having on board one of the stran gest snakes of which there is any re cord in any land, which has the habit of changing its head every six months from one end of its body to the other, the Hansa line steamer Trautenfels, from Calcutta and Colombo, docked at the Mystic last week. The reptile is about three feet in length and nearly ten inches thick in some portions of its body. It has a peculiar brownish color, and its bite is far more poison ous than the rattler. The snake was caught in the moun- being taken to New York to complete the collection of monstrosities in one of the muse ums in that city. At the present time the head is disappearing from one end of its body, and another one is grad ually being formed on the spot where its tail formerly was. None of the officers of the Trauten fels, from Capt. Gronau down, was able to give any special name to the snake. Every person on board the steamer gave the cage a wide berth whenever they passed it, not from any possibility that the reptile might es cape, but from force of habit. There is no possibility of its effecting an escape, for aside from any oppor tunity it evidently has no inclination to get away. It occasionally shows signs of life by running out its immense tongue, but it seldom moves. It is said to be particularly ferocious just after the semi-annual head-moving is accomplished. Money Mad. "We were simply money mad." Thus spoke to the court one of the young bank clerks arraigned in Pitts burg recently on a charge of robbing the institution. He packed a good deal into one sentence, and described a disease that is wdespread. The vic tims are numerous, and are found Qn nearly every rung of the ladder from bottom to top. It is the goldene age of gold. Everywhere wealth is piling up, and methods of accumulation are in many cases so loose and question able they differ little in morals frpm plain, old-fashioned theft. The man with nothing wants something the man with something wants more. It is a great chase, and then a weak youngster is an easy prey in the presence of op portunity to help himself. For these reasons inspections of all banks and trust companies should be increased in frequency and thoroughness, and made, as too often they are not, ab solutely worthy of the public accep tance.Washington Star.

Baroness von Suttner's stirring ap peal for peace in her notable book, which bears in English editions the title "Ground Arms," finds an echo in a recently published argument by a Scotch minister, the Rev. Walter Walsh of Dundee. There is now in the country a considerable sentiment and a growing sentiment against war. The people are praising the peace serv ices of the president despite his avow ed opinion that the way to maintain peace is to prepare for war. There is I much talk in the press of the coming Hague conference and what it may do to prevent wars. Much of this expres sion, we are bound to say, has no pro found basis in moral conviction. It would be flung aside instantly if the war bugles were sounded, and in Its place would appear the well known spirit of jingoism and all the war pas sions that have their apotheosis in the sentiment, "Our country, right or wrong." It is easy to believe that our country must be right if she is fighting. Dr. Walsh bases his argument for peace upon the moral damage of war upon the nations which engage in it. He appeals to conscience as being above interest or patriotic pride. War is treated as a monstrous crime and the promoter of all manner of crimes, godless, inhuman and debasing. The author illustrates and enforces his main proposition by incidents of the late Boer-English war, tending to show the moral damage of that struggle to the whole nation through its effect upon the child, the soldier, the politi cian, the journalist, the preacher, the trader, the citizen, the patriot and the reformer. Even defeat in a just cause on the battlefield is demoralizing. The people feel that their cause was lost because the enemy had the biggest battalions and the most guns. Never again can they be nerved to renew the struggle with odds so hopeless. Defeat at the polls may be weathered and the verdict reversed, but there the issue depends ultimately upon enlightenment, con science and effective propaganda. But once justice is ground under the iron heel of war the very seeds from which the spirit of resistance sprung are an nihilated. On the other hand, there is truth in the saying, "He who lives by the sword dies by the sword." Man is but mortal, and victories won by brute force tend to corrupt the victor through the license that comes of un bridled power. The Golden Rule In Practice. There is one community in the world, according to a writer in the New York Independent, which "even seems to violate every accepted dictum of this world's wisdom and yet beyond all question is now and has been ever since its start, now nearly forty years ago, an assured success." This Golden Rule colony is located at Bielefeld, Germany. To quote: If one should undertake to establish a colony and should begin by inviting to it the unfortunate, the incapable, the illiterate, the poor, the destitute, the in ebriate, the debauchee, the feeble mind ed, the idiotic, the epileptic, the paralytic, if he should do this without capital and without backing of financial responsibil ity, he might be following the literal teachings of Christ he could not be ac cused of following the first principle of ordinary prudence. Yet this is what was done and is still being done day after day, month after month, year after year, in this unique community, and with the most remarkable results. The claim of being trouble is the one key that will unlock the doors of the community at Bielefeld, and with that key one is never turned away. The guiding spirit of this community at present is Pastor von' Bodelswingh, who, with his wife and helper, came from the aristocratic circles of Berlin. Bethel, as the Bielefeld is called, sug gests the settlement work being done in our crowded cities, but it is not wholly a charity. 'All the members work without pay, being assured of a liome when sick. Tramps are trained to useful and profitable employment. While the atmosphere of the colony is said to be religious, religion is imposed upon none. On Sept. 30 took place the formal opening of the first section of the rail way from Peking to Kalgan, which, when it is eventually carried to TJrga and Kiakhta, will bring Peking within twelve days of London. It is expect ed that the line will be completed in three years. Western nations will breathe easier when they know that their representatives in China are with in a few days' steaming of European centers. James Hazen Hyde, former vice president of the Equitable, who is now living in Paris, has arranged for a de bate between Harvard and Yale in French. He offers a cup to the win ning debaters. It may be taken for granted that the question of American life insurance will not be chosen as the subject for debate. Strange that New York city should pass through an exciting election with out hearing the cheerful voice of ex Police Chief Bill Devery "bearin' upon and appertainin' thereto." It isn't fair to sneer at Richard Hard ing Davis because he proposes to spend but a week In Cuba to get material for a book. Davis helped put Cuba on the map. m2iM^M^^^32ZiM^"^: |^^w -ii ii~ ini. in.. The Rural Telephone Co. ~*4^ THE PEOPLE'S FAVORITE. Lines to Dalbo, Cambridge, Santi ago. Freer and Olendorado.
